JetBlue’s affordable first-class service sounds like a dream come true

Flying is mostly a miserable experience… unless you shell out for first-class seats, which will normally set you back by a good chunk of change. However, as Business Insider points out, JetBlue’s Mint first-class service is actually surprisingly affordable and it’s been getting rave reviews from fliers so far.

First of all, when we say “affordable,” we mean you can get a round-trip first-class round trip from San Francisco to New York and back for roughly $1,200, or $600 each way. And you won’t be skimping on luxury, either — you get extremely comfortable seats that can fully recline and let you lie flat, access to both DirecTV and Sirius XM, and the FlyFi high-speed broadband service.

Even the food on the flight sounds first-rate — instead of getting dry chicken that’s been reheated in a microwave, you get the choice of several meals concocted by the New York-based Saxon + Parole restaurant that include “poached lobster, bison meatloaf, and herb-roasted monkfish.”
